Geralt of Rivia, the hero of CD Projekt Red's The Witcher RPGs, has been added to the roster of Bandai Namco's upcoming fighting game, Soulcalibur VI.

Bandai Namco has a history of including guest characters from other franchises in its Soulcalibur games. Over the game's 20+ year history, this has included the likes of Nintendo's Link, the comic book character Spawn, Star Wars' Yoda and Darth Vader, and others. Now, Geralt will put his swordsmanship to the test.

Soulcalibur VI will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (via Steam) later this year.
